Chapter 14 Straight Attack Method

Captain Grisha is definitely not a female classmate without a story, and even his story is more important, and the important must be described.

Captain Grisha's hometown is a small island similar to Whale Island, Qiubai's hometown, but the natural environment is even harsher, at least Whale Island is closed, but it can be self-sufficient, but Captain Grisha's hometown is so harsh that it is extremely unsuitable for human survival.

In fact, there were no indigenous people on the original island.

But then things changed when the world government discovered the island's important mineral deposits, so the original inhabitants who were miners were relocated, and the mining industry continued to support the island's life until later.

Captain Grisha has a wealth of seafaring experience, which comes from countless transports of minerals.

But the mineral deposits are sometimes exhausted, and people like Captain Grisha are already the second generation of miners, and they are considered to be natives of the island, that is, by this period, the important mineral materials on the island have been extracted.

In any society, the attitude of the people at the bottom is actually the same, and the management of the miners by the world government is very much like slavery, but this kind of slavery is indispensable for the enslaved.

After the decline of the mining industry, instead of doing anything good, the miners found themselves unable to survive, which is the legendary realm of "wanting to be slaves but not being able to" - after the minerals were exhausted, the world government left the miners with a few broken ships, and then they left.

Without supplies from the World Government, the island was not self-sufficient, and poverty and desperation prompted the miners to find a new way to survive...... But this group of people, in fact, lacks any other means of survival and livelihood other than mining.

Then, based on disagreements about the future, the miners split. Captain Grisha was one of the most prestigious of the group, but because his plan was so extreme that it was clearly limited in acceptance, only the thirty or so people on the ship were willing to follow him.

It is precisely because his big adventure is the way to death that he wants to drive the innocent Qiubai and the two off the boat now.

Under the domination of the world government, I don't know how many people have encountered this kind of Grisha, but among them, there can be people like him who are calm and have crazy decisiveness, and they can be ignored.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of a fruit called "vegetarian berries"?" Captain Grisha patted his son on the head and motioned for him to play by himself, while saying to Qiubai and Bai.

Qiubai and Ain shook their heads at the same time, they hadn't heard of what it was.

"It is a special fruit that is unique to some special environments in the New World, and it is also one of the few crops that can be grown in our hometown of 'Little Rock Island', which is also the most orthodox production area of this kind of berry, but unfortunately it ......."

"It's a pity?"

"No, nothing."

Captain Grisha is probably sorry that the production in their hometown and the price of their own are not enough to support life on the island.

"To put it simply, the taste of this fruit is very 'beautiful', it is bland at first but it can give people a continuous taste stimulation, and the price is very common, so it is a bestseller in the new world."

"But this fruit, which was still common in the New World, was unheard of by people from all over the world, because of the well-known geographical factors that caused poor transportation, it was almost impossible to transport vegetarian berries out of the New World...... Therefore, in terms of rarity, once it is transported to the four seas, the selling price will increase to more than 100 times. ”

"But ......"

When he said this, Qiubai knew that there should be such a "but", because it is impossible to get more than 100 times the price in such a simple answer, on the other hand, if it is simple, why should it be sold 100 times?

"However, there is no way to get the money, because there is another distinctive feature of vegetarian berries...... No matter what kind of preservation method is used, its shelf life cannot exceed ten days, and it will inevitably spoil after ten days. ”

"Ten days?" Qiubai asked rhetorically.

"It's ten days."

Ten days, even with the highest navigation technology of the current navy, it is impossible to leave the new world and go to the four seas.

By analogy, the Great Voyage is equivalent to the "equator" that circles the planet, and together with the red earth continent perpendicular to it, it divides the world into four parts, which are the four seas.

As for the reason why you can't enter and exit the Great Route casually, it is because it is a circular "closed loop" that can only be entered and exited through a special position "Upside Down Mountain".

The Great Shipping Route is closed by a special sea area on both sides of it - the windless zone, which is firmly closed from both sides by similar geographical concepts and similar positions.

A windless zone is an "absolutely stable zone" where there is no wind and no currents, and at this stage of technology that is purely sail-powered, it is absolutely impossible for a sea vessel to pass through a windless zone.

Even with motivation, this kind of thing is very difficult to do, because a windless belt is not just a windless ...... The entire windless zone is home to a huge herd of sea beasts called the "Sea Kings".

There are endless numbers, and they will clap everything that floats overhead into powder, and in terms of danger, it is a field that even the "Admirals", who represent the greatest combat power of the government, will not set foot in.

"Risk is always positively correlated with profit, which makes sense, so ...... Does Captain Grisha mean to say, the ship is actually a fruit carrier? ”

Qiu Bai's reaction was still very keen, and at this time he had completely understood what the other party's words meant.

Captain Grisha did not answer the question directly, "In essence, we have to take extreme sailing, and that's why you can't be allowed to sail...... Do you understand? ”

Of course Qiubai understood, and he understood it, and he couldn't understand it anymore.

For a long time, he thought that it would be crazy enough for the two of them to dare to run around in the new world on the same boat, but he didn't expect that the captain in front of him, who seemed to be calm, was actually more ...... No, it should be said that he is much crazier than his Xiaoqiu.

This also explains why the "Giant", which went to the North Sea, deviated almost 90 degrees from its course.

With Qiubai's poor knowledge of geometry, he also understood certain things, such as...... Between two points, the line segment is the shortest.

As for the law of the great circle or something, he didn't understand it, and probably it didn't apply to the current situation.

So the question is, how can this fruit be sent to the North Sea within the expiration date?

The answer is simple, Captain Grisha is going to cross the windless belt next...... He will go on a mortal voyage.

But his persuasion did not play any role, and even the effect was just the opposite, which is a fallacy caused by not understanding Qiubai's character...... It's okay for him to find some excitement, and now that he knows the facts, he can only take the initiative to get off the boat?

He looked at the captain's eyes, it was completely different, this old man, a group of ...... he admired It can be seen that Ain's statement that Qiubai is a nerve is quite reasonable.

But for Qiubai, this is only part of "human observation".

Weak and tenacious

Stupid, stubborn

Humble and cowardly, stubborn and unyielding

Humans are creatures of infinite possibility, and Captain Grisha's voyage is anything but great, probably only in an angry rebellion, but it does make people shudder with excitement.

A group of ordinary people are planning to cross the windless belt, is there anything bolder, more death-seeking, and more funny than this?

What could be a more resolute revolt than this?

I have to say that there are times when Akibaku's personality resembles someone among the Ikebukuro Triumvirate, and at this time he even wants to shout a celebrity quote like "Humans love it".

Although in essence they just like the tossing and turning of human beings in a "desperate situation", it is not so much to love human beings as to love the "dying throes" of human beings.

So Qiubai's reaction at this time can be imagined:

"If that's the case, be sure to let us go along."

"Must!"
